The backstory
AdCreative.ai produces banner and social ad variations and scores them for predicted performance. Meta now generates image and text variants directly in Ads Manager at no charge, and optimises them against real conversion data the tool cannot see. A standalone generator is strictly worse than one embedded in the auction. The category collapsed into the ad platforms themselves.
